After months of turbulence, the UK YouTube Artist Chart is back to its familiar shape. Normally, Eminem holds firm at No. 1, with Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift joining him at the Top 3, while the rest of the Top 5 is occupied by the usual flavour of the month.
This year, the order was briefly shaken by the duo record from Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, followed by Lady Gaga’s album. They stayed on top for several weeks, but Marshall quickly reclaimed his reign back in March. Then Ed Sheeran rose, and Taylor Swift joined the mix this week.
The United Kingdom Weekly Top Artists YouTube Chart shows Eminem’s confident dominance, with 4.1 million views gained from May 30 to June 5, 2025 (YouTube data shared with a significant delay). That is almost a million more views than Ed Sheeran’s No. 2 spot, and over a million more than Taylor Swift.
Top 5 UK YouTube Artists (May 30 – June 5, 2025):
1. Eminem – 4,074,407 views
2. Ed Sheeran – 3,232,729 views
3. Taylor Swift – 3,032,475 views
4. Lady Gaga – 2,901,577 views
5. Bruno Mars – 2,776,650 views
The UK clearly loves Eminem, and London remains the city with the most views. New York, Seoul, and São Paulo battle for second place, taking turns, but it is clear that the United Kingdom respects Em the most.
